      The monster who tormented a woman to get Clarence Thomas on the supreme court. He's just been playing the long game all this time.

        The Missouri compromise but this time the south secedes because of abortion instead of slavery

          Could be over trans healthcare too. NY has a bill which allows doctors to ignore subpoenas for patients who have fled another state for gender-affirming healthcare and denies extradition in those cases. States refusing to extradite another state’s resident does not bode well for the union

      I wonder how bad things will get during the near future - this decade for example...

      If the GOP captures enough state legislatures, they can call a Constitutional Convention to change the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.

        If it makes you feel any better: They'd be able to call a convention with 34 states, but would still need 38 states to actually ratify and confirm any changes, which is highly unlikely even in Hellworld (Never say never tho of course).

          I think this year's elections were be a dry run for GOP malfeasance. And the 2024 elections will be a sick, corrupt joke where the GOP perverts our electoral system. They could certainly get to 38 states by the end of the decade.

            I personally doubt it since that would basically require the Republicans to completely flip and control 1 or 2 consistently very solid blue Democrat strongholds, but ya never know.

              Consider that not only will voting will be thoroughly corrupted our legal system might (will?) often be a GOP rubber stamp. The GOP is going to be absolutely power drunk starting from a few hours ago when the news broke. I think they are capable of anything and our legal system will fail us.

      Watch Joe Biden actually campaign on this.

      "Vote blue, A democrat presidency saw abortion get banned alongside the re-criminalization of those ICKY trans people!"

      We are fucking doomed. Nazis are always going to be one step ahead of us. They ALWAYS win in the end.

        No they don't. I understand that seeing them gain ground in this cursed country is disheartening, but Nazis inherently cannot win. They have a self-destructive ideology.

          The problem is that in addition to themselves, their ideology tends to destroy everyone around them

          Yeah people keep forgetting that Wehrmacht fascists bombed Hitler in July 1944, not out of any hatred for Nazism, but because they wanted Germany's involvement in WW2 to end. The supposed "resistance" of guys like Erwin Rommel passively choosing to avoid exposing assassination plots wasn't some noble stance against fascism, they were fascists who wanted better fascists in power.

      He's the anti-Lincoln, he's allowing the union to crumble because he can't even be bothered to pretend to care about human rights
